Thema: "A simple escort," she said ...

[Zanan]

"So let's sneak up onto these derro from two sides, while others take care of the chaps on the platform. The spell-slingers can hurl a few balls of fire or acid up there and be done with it. After all, if we take this bridge back for the drow, the Dalharilen may gain another stronghold in the Night Below?!" Tavia says, with a look at the yathrin.

[Narzen]

Following from the side as the drow have their conversation, Gaess mutters something to herself in the Mulhorandi tongue.

[warlockco]

Xune listens along, keeping quiet, having already given her thoughts.

[Korach]

"I think I could hold the chain still if its carried, but I got another idea, now." The dust 'faces' towards Sheiriya and asks: "It looks like you can see far away. Is there a place on that pillar where I could get out my chain unseen?"

[Zanan]

Khalas lays his hand on a pouch at his belt: "Malla yathrin, it would be my pleasure to incinerate those on the higher platform for the glory of our Dark Mother, and the Dalharilen!" He bows his head as one would expect of a loyal servant.

[Fabius Maximus]

"It looks like these guys don't want to be interrupted", Farviaan says after hearing Sheiriyas report. "In this case, they're likely not letting us pass. I say we hit 'em hard and throw 'em of that bridge."

[Phaerven]

Zhadristan merely waits, still holding a poisoned bolt.

[Mikayla]

Kylara scowls at Xune, but turns her attention to the others.  "We are taking the bridge, by force, and then animating the corpses of the fallen to the extent we can.  Those we cannot animate, we shall pitch into the black.  Now, I want two groups.  One group will sneak past the bridge, through the air or across the roof.  The other group will approach as if to cross.  When the openly approaching group nears the enemy, the casters in that group will decimate the enemy leadership with area effect spells.  Once the first bombardment has gone off, the sneaking group, my group, will descend upon the enemy behind their front line.  The open approaching group will then move towards the middle to meet us, catching the enemy in between.  Now, I can both fly through the air and crawl upon the ceiling.  Who is able to get across to the far side of the bridge undetected as well?  Those who can, in my group.  Those who cannot, in the open group.  Xune, you will lead the open group."

[warlockco]

"Suits me, however I will not be your whipping girl. I am a Yathrin also, just because I am contracted to serve you, doesn't mean I am your slave, like these males and things." says Xune,
"The Daughters are more militant than I care for, but I know each and everyone of us has our own place within the webs of the Goddess. I just see no point in capturing this bridge, when we don't have the resources to keep it." continues Xune with a dismissive gesture,
"I shall lead any that comes with me across the bridge, even if I must go alone."

[Draezen]

"I prefer to sneak past, though I have no ability to fly or spider climb unless someone cares to cast one of those spells upon me. However, my ability to remain unseen and unheard is far greater than any I have observed in this group. If someone were to cast spider climb on me, I could easily climb underneath the bottom of the bridge and wait directly below the derro until the initial attack is made. Then, as I said earlier, I could dispatch the savant if he survives the spell bath."

[Zanan]

"Good," Tavia whispers. "I will go with my Dark Path mistress and we both rely on Szordin's blades as well. Maybe someone can back us up with bolt or arow?"

Khalas nods at Kylara'anon: "It will be my pleasure to follow you up to the bridge and lay waste to the platform. The rest can be done by the Gith, perhaps?"

[warlockco]

Xune listens on as the party starts to sort out who is going where.

[Fabius Maximus]

Farviaan considers the whole plan for a moment, then speaks: "I can do both. I could jump on the platform after the casters blast it, and I could accompany Xune's group over the bridge. But I don't think she needs me, so it would be the best if I'd go with the commander."

[Phaerven]

"The bridge." Zhadristan says curtly.

[Narzen]

"Crawling beneath the brigde, out of sight, would be my choice," Gaess nods.
